Poconos, Pennsylvania
Travelzoo has an offer for Woodloch Resort in the Poconos, a two-hour drive from New York City, with rooms available Sunday-Thursday (including the 14th, currently) for just $178 a night. This resort makes it into TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Most Family Friendly Hotels list, and is famous for its cozy atmosphere and activities. If you can upgrade to the one-bedroom suite for an extra $50, you can tuck the kids up at bedtime and retreat to the living area for some (almost) alone time.
Niagra Falls
Niagra Falls, one of the world’s most romantic spots, is absolutely spectacular in the winter when the falls freeze. Bring the kids too for some unforgettable family selfies and stay at Clifton Inn, a three-star hotel, for only $67 a night during the week leading up to Valentine’s Day. Suites are available and there are no extra fees for children under 17.
Las Vegas
Looking for somewhere a little warmer? The average temperatures in Las Vegas in February is 64F, and February is a quieter, more family-friendly time to visit. There is plenty of availability and casino hotel rooms are generous, meaning plenty of space to relax even with little ones in tow. While you may not think of Vegas as a family destination, the desert landscape is beautiful, the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam are nearby, and there are plenty of kid-friendly shows to enjoy.
According to expedia.com, there are rooms available at the centrally-located four-star Paris Las Vegas Resort and Casino for just $97 a night during the week of Valentine’s Day, a saving of over 50% to the usual rate.
Orlando
Florida is another great US winter sun destination and there are plenty of cheap hotel rooms available in February for families. The four-star Reunion by 1791 Vacation Experience has one, two and three-bedroom villas available from $103 a night mid-week in February.
Disneyland
OK, maybe not the traditionally romantic destination, but Disneyland, California will give your family plenty to smile about this Valentine’s Day. Especially as they are currently running a special offer on three-day Disney park tickets, which work out at just $70 a day, including one Magic Morning early admission with each ticket. Disney’s resort hotels are also running special offers, with up to 25% off premium rooms.
